Gavin is digging his own grave, I'm sure those ballot measures will amount to something when progressives are back in power in Cali. Gavin is the sole opponent to the 2019 ranked choice voting.

Gavin is applying for predetermined frontrunner.

I bet you said the same thing about Bloomberg. Regardless of his low chances of primary success, he would still be infinitely better than Trump.

Nope. Biden was the predetermined nominee in 2020. Bloomberg was a means to that end.

And you support any candidate over a progressive. Including and especially trump.

Biden won the 2020 Primary, about doubling Sanders' votes. Are you implying Bernie Sanders is also just pretending to be progressive and intentionally throwing?

Bloomberg's literal stated reason for joining the race was to stop Sanders. Stop with the self-serving revisionist shit already.
